Glitter Gal Enchanted

Hello!

It's been far too long since my last post. Life has been manic to put it mildly. Everytime I thought I'd get some time to do some blogging, something else happened! But things are fairly quiet now so fingers crossed I'll get back to doing some regular posting.

First off, I want to show you all a Glitter Gal polish I was sent to try a few weeks ago from R8Beauty (yes, I'm really behind in reviews!). For those of you that haven't already heard of them, go take a look at R8Beauty's facebook page for chances to win and review new and exciting products.

I have been drooling over Glitter Gal holographic polishes since I first started to see them pop up on various blogs but getting them shipped from Australia is a bit beyond my 'saving for a wedding' budget at the moment so I was very excited to be offered a chance to try one.

I was sent Enchanted (GGNP719) which is a very pretty pink holographic shade. On my nails it kind of makes me think of salmon pink.

The first 2 shots were taken in natural light -


The next 2 were taken under artificial light to try and show you the holographic effect (I live in the UK, at this time of year sunshine is rarer than Paris Hilton spending a quiet night at home)


(click on pics to get full holo effect!)

Those of you who are regular readers will know that it's quite unusual for me to wear pink so I wasn't sure how much I'd like this but I have to say that I do really like it! This was helped by the fact that it applies like a dream and has one of the best brushes I've used for a while. These pictures were taken after wearing it for nearly 3 days. No topcoat.

I am now even more desperate to buy some more Glitter Gal Holographic polishes, I am especially in lust with Marine Blue! Maybe I can persuade Maz that nail polish is a wedding essential?!

Hope everyone is doing well, I have more reviews coming up!

Gosh Holographic Konadicure and The Google Game

Hi!

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was pretty quiet but I did go to a party on Saturday night so I did my nails for the occasion.

I finally bought Gosh's Holographic so thought I'd give that a go topped with Konad black polish using image plate M70.

I really loved the result -






Excuse the cuticle area... I've been picking!

I got lots of comments on this manicure, always a good sign :)

I absolutely love Gosh Holographic, I don't know why I put off getting it for so long.

Lastly, I saw the Google game on several people's blogs and thought I'd give it a go. It made me laugh a lot!

My life according to Google - Type in the following and choose from the first description found.... Be honest, don't just pick one out to be funny!

1: Type in "[name] needs" in the Google search:


Sarah needs your manly vote... (yes, a manly vote, a vote that is manly, that is what I need)

2: Type in "[name] looks like" in Google search:

Sarah looks like fuckin nicole richie in this picture... (ahhhh yes, I'm always being compared to that f*ckin Nicole Richie)

3: Type in "[name] hates" in Google search:

Sarah hates your movie... (apparently I'm a film critic in my spare time)

4: Type in "[name] goes" OR "[name] has gone" in Google search:

5: Type in "[name] loves" in Google search:

Sarah loves chicken poop... (my secret's out, what can I say, it's really an acquired taste)

6: Type in "[name] eats" in Google search:

(Ex-Sex Slave) Sarah Eats Sushi... (this was a link to a youtube video... I didn't watch it but I have all sorts of things running through my head!)

7: Type in "[name] has" in Google search:

Sarah had a jolly good moan... (is it me or do I sense a theme here?! This was actually the 2nd link, the first was - Woman has 200 orgasms a day. Sarah Carmen suffers from Permanent ... but wasn't sure if that counted... strangely the 2 links seem to be linked ;)

8: Type in "[name] works" in Google search:

Sarah works as a consultant... (finally something innocent!)

9: Type in"[name] lives" in Google search:

Sarah lives in Germany... (I do??)

10: Type in "[name] died" in Google search:

Sarah does not eat humans... (why would someone need to ever say this!?!)

12: Type in "[name] will" in Google search:

Police doubt 'Sarah's Law' will cause vigilante attacks... (no links with Sarah will came up at all)

13.Type in "[name] is" in Google search:

SARAH IS BEAUTIFUL Sarah is beautiful inside and out, She's the most beautiful girl, When I'm dancing with Sarah and the stars are out, I am on top of the... (my stalker's been online again)

Let me know if you have a go at this game, I love reading other people's!

A Franken NOTD

Hi,

Earlier in the week I realised that my bottle of Cover Girl's City Lights was running very low and it was beginning to be difficult to use so I decided to use the rest of it for a franken. I mixed it with some of Nubar's Night Sparkles.

Here's how it turned out -









The first few shots show the true colour of the franken but the darker shots show the sparkliness! It looks best in the sun but of course there was no sun when I was taking pictures!

I love the result and will be wearing it a lot!

I went to Superdrug's yesterday and Gosh is 3 for 2 at the moment so I got some more sparkly things -

Gosh's extreme eyeliner number 26 and holographic silver eyedust. I also got the holographic nail polish but didn't take a photo of it for some reason.

Don't forget all these pictures are clickable and you can definitely see the full sparkle effect more in the big pictures!

Lastly, look what Tescos are selling now -

Color Club Love 'Em Leave 'Em Konadicure

Hey!

This is a very quick post to show you what's currently on my nails -





Click on the pictures to see the full holographic effect!

I used 2 coats of Color Club's Love 'Em Leave 'Em with Konad black polish and image plate M65.

I don't usually buy colours like this but I surprised myself by absolutely loving it! So I will be buying more like this in the future :)

Oh and just because it's been a while, here are some Bobo and Barnaby pics -

Both sleeping in the airing cupboard on the nice clean towels.

Sometimes I worry that he can't relax... ;)

My beautiful girl!
